All is ok now

Problem solved. We now have managed to obtain a 'K' reg Golf 1.8 with 132,000 miles on the clock. MOT until end of year and new paint job to sort - shouldn't be a problem. As for the hole in the floor (!!!!) will hopefully get one of the techies at work to do me a favour. So pictures to follow but back on track, hurrah!!!!

Disaster Strikes!!

Nightmare!, we have 'lost' the Scally car. Turns out that we have lost the car due to it being lent out with a customer from work and it's not coming back so all the plans and preparation that have gone in so far are all in vain and we now have to start the search for our £100 car again. So, we are checking ebay daily and i'm hoping that someone comes into work with a banger they want to replace with a nice shiny new car - here's hoping!!

Much discussion on the Scally Rally forum with regards to the theme for our car - everything from blueberries to golf balls (don't think i've got the heart to knock lots of dents in it or paint it white!) to a golf buggy (again don't think the police will let us drive without door's or a boot) besides, driving around Ireland with effectively an open car could get both cold and wet!!. We appear to have agreed on some crazy Mexico World Cup 1970/86 theme - not sure how this is going to turn out yet but trying to keep costs down by calling in some favours and twist some arms. Will hopefully get some more photo's on the page in the next week.....

The StartLine

So, the car is bought, a lovely purple VW Golf.

The team name is decided upon as well.

So, we're pretty much ready to go. Only a few minor details to sort out.
